Adam Lee is an EPSRC Leadership Fellow and Professor of Physical
Chemistry, nanoengineering heterogeneous catalysts for clean chemical
technologies within the Cardiff Catalysis Institute. He has published
over 100 original research articles in peer-reviewed international
journals, and has been instrumental in the development of in-situ and
operando X-ray spectroscopies to elucidate surface chemical processes
and structure-reactivity relations within colloidal and supported metal
and metal oxide nanoparticles. Adam's research on selective oxidation
and biofuel production is internationally recognised, and he is an
Editorial Board member for Catalysis Communications, Catalysts and the
Open Catalysis Journal.

His research interests include heterogeneous catalysis, surface science
and porous solids, synchrotron radiation, and renewable energy.
